Sorry. Really am bad at updating this.

Ok. So... Lots has happened in the last month or so. My darling boy got a contract with a team in Hong Kong so has gone over there. We will be going back and forth regularly to see each other and we have both committed to making it work in the meantime.

It's been very odd not having him around. I have pretty much reverted back to being the 'expat' I was when I arrived. Eating a lot at Cafe Terrace and catching taxi's everywhere. No more commuting to work on the back of a motobike or nightly dinners at Ben Thanh markets.

I still try to go out with friends etc but it's different again now. It's like being single... without being single. I'm not complaining though - I'm happy he's part of my life still so just have to deal with Taxi's.

Remember that shot of me riding the Yamaha Nouvo? Well luckily I had some lessons because now it's just me and my bike. I could only ride it around the carpark at first - and even then I sucked. A friend of my man's got it fixed for me so it accelerates better and now I can zoom around Phu My Hung. I still can't really take it on my roads - I tried - it wasn't pretty. My aim is to get good enough and confident enough that I can ride into work and back - but slowly does it. There is no rush and my original plan was always to just ride around expatville so I am proud that I can do that. :)

Here's some photos of fun and game is Saigon over the last month or so...

The lovely Leah came to visit... and will be returning again soon.

We kicked the boys butts at Pool at the 'pub' in PMH called "the Tavern"

I tasted African food - and was pleasantly surprised. Especially the weird banana thing. Not sold on 'goats head' though.

This is what you do when the Agency loses power for the afternoon - sit on teeny weeny stools and drink "Caphe Sua Da" on the street.

Getting sad in the days leading up to "Operation HK"

At the airport saying goodbye - but not for long!

Drinking Pina Colada cocktails at the Caravelle.

Hanging out with friends, partying it up in Saigon.

Back down to earth again - Photo shoot, Vietnam style. :)
